Revelation 16

1 And I heard aloud voice, out of the sanctuary, saying unto the seven messengers—Go, and be pouring out the seven bowls of the wrath of God unto the earth.

And I heard a great voice from the temple, saying to the seven Angels: “Go forth and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God upon the earth.”

2 And the first departed, and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and there came to be a baneful and painful ulcer, upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and them who were doing homage unto his image.

And the first Angel went forth and poured out his bowl upon the earth. And a severe and most grievous wound occurred upon the men who had the character of the beast, and upon those who adored the beast or its image.

3 And, the second, poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man, and, every living soul, died—as regardeth the things in the sea.

5 And I heard the messenger of the waters, saying—Righteous, art thou Who art, and Who wast, Who art full of lovingkindness, —in that, these things, thou hast adjudged;

And I heard the Angel of the waters saying: “You are just, O Lord, who is and who was: the Holy One who has judged these things.

6 Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are!

For they have shed the blood of the Saints and the Prophets, and so you have given them blood to drink. For they deserve this.”

7 And I heard the altar, saying—Yea! Lord, God, the Almighty: True and righteous, are thy judgments!

And from the altar, I heard another one, saying, “Even now, O Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and just.”

8 And, the fourth, poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it, to scorch mankind with fire;

10 And, the fifth, poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and they began to gnaw their tongues by reason of the pain, —

13 And I saw, out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false-prophet, three impure spirits, as frogs;

And I saw, from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophetess, three unclean spirits go out in the manner of frogs.

14 for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which are to go forth unto the kings of the whole habitable earth, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.—

For these are the spirits of the demons that were causing the signs. And they advanced to the kings of the entire earth, to gather them for battle on the great day of Almighty God.

15 Lo! I come as a thief! Happy, he that is watching, and keeping his garments, lest, naked, he be walking, and they see his shame.—

“Behold, I arrive like a thief. Blessed is he who is vigilant and who preserves his vestment, lest he walk naked and they see his disgrace.”

16 And he gathered them together unto the place that is called, in Hebrew, Har Magedon.

And he shall gather them together at a place which is called, in Hebrew, Armageddon.

17 And, the seventh, poured out his bowl upon the air.—And there came forth a loud voice out of the sanctuary, from the throne, saying—Accomplished!

And there were lightnings and voices and thunders. And a great earthquake occurred, of a kind such as has never happened since men have been upon the earth, so great was this kind of earthquake.

19 and the great city became [divided] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and, Babylon the Great, was brought into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger;

20 and, every island, fled, and, mountains, were not found.
